Mountain Biking - YAY! New stuff!!!!!

Well, this week has been like an early birthday
Bike rack,
Thomson Seat post
Hyrdra Pack
and a gift from a friend, a multi-tool (it was on sale for like 5 bucks, why not?)


Yes, I modified my bike rack to use a normal locking hitch pin. Didn't want to buy the 40.00 thule pin.
I didn't have proper sized bits/tools, so I got creative and cut the inner nut off, and drilled out sections, and hand filed it back roundish. It works. The cardboard and tape thing on the end is just so it doesnt wobble and freak my mother out.
:p

Just to prove, that it's on my bike for all those "pic of GTFO guy/gals"

I havn't fine tuned to seat angle yet, I just got it to where I could ride again.

New saddle time!

New saddle time!

Whats wrong with the one that he has now?

Fugry. He should get a seat to go with his nice shiny seatpost.

Also, perhaps I'm wrong, but didn't a want a new one anyway? Cool stuff anyway, I hope he enjoys it!

Edit- Are those disc brake mounts on the fork?

EVentually I get one that is a bit more comfy, but the angle variety with this post has made this seat feel better.
My old seat post bent the rails, I had to grab a clamp and queeze them in again.

Yes, Indeed they are disk brake mounts.

Next on my upgrade list is a pair of clipless pedals and shoes.

Fugry. He should get a seat to go with his nice shiny seatpost.


Ya I always look my coolest and never ever ever look like a dork on a bike ;)

Way to go Cheeto!

Can't wait to ride a trail, and not worry about my seat getting loose/ falling off.
The best part is, my multi tool's hex wrench actually works with the screws on the Thomson. The Bontrager was a bigger size that nothing fit.

oh hey - after 10 years, Salsa just got his 1st seat that wasn't out of the $10 bin at the LBS.... looks great, Cheeto! Don't wait for Mom to tell you to do your chores 3 times - freak her out & get moving after the 2nd time!

Are you telling me that you go by looks and not comfort? What are you, a poser?


Nice new toys you got there Cheeto! Now go make use of them!

He has some sort of weird fascination with saddles. He's posted a number of pictures of his. It's quite odd, really, how someone can be obsessed with a piece of leather soaked in ass sweat.

..............wayyyyyyy too easy.

I wonder if he sniffs them.

Naw - chew toy.

Exactly.

I have a saddle fetish, it's finally time someone called me on it.

LOOK AT IT ******BAG! It's covered in ass sweat! LOOK AT IT!

Sorry if I want my saddles to look nice, but a seat can make or break a bikes looks. However, my Flite is possibly the most comfortable saddle I've ridden, so no compromises in the performance category.

LOL...

I can't... look... away...

Exactly.

Some are more concerned with how a bike rides..........no invite for you.

He must ride standing up. That saddle hardly looks broken in. It probably hurts his dangly bits.

But it sure looks damn good!! :rolleyes:

"....my Flite is possibly the most comfortable saddle I've ever ridden...."

Care if I quote myself? I'm very concerned with how a bike rides, but aesthetics are important when you can get them without a compromise.

@Psycle_Chic

Nah, that's when I got the saddle brand new.

I've done some riding, so I don't consider myself 100% poseur.

Does the bike make you look good?

If so, I feel badly for you. Do you have low self esteem? Work on yourself, not the bike. And YOU will look good.

Does the bike make you look good?


No. I wear tight pants with light blue jersey's. There is no way I can truthfully say I look good on my bike.



That aside, what's wrong with making my bike look good? Selle Italia and Selle San Marco saddles always fit my rump perfectly, so I put them on all of my bikes. They have great aesthetics, put more importantly are comfortable and pretty light as well. Why can't I enjoy my saddle?

In a totally normal way. Just so no one tries anything witty.....

YOU are the one that was stressing the importance of looks.

It looks as though you are riding along and enjoying your bike. THAT's what counts.

I stress looks, but after performance. Back OT, Cheeto could probably get a lighter saddle with a better fit, AND better looks as well. I see no harm in him buying a new saddle when he gets the money. (After clipless pedals.....)

Also, I decided I am a poseur. I broke a nail. :D

Also I just realized I got removed from the Forum Ride.

:(

I get it now. You are just a child. No wonder. :rolleyes:

Nearly on par with racial profiling.

Please, PLEASE, discerning eyes of BF's! Ignore my advice now! It's so blatantly obvious that my advice is illegitimate as I am a child! Not only a child, but an opinionated one as well! Surely one such as I could not provide a genuine service to the masses! No, cast me to the dogs! Away with me!

Thank you for the admittance.

Thank you for the admittance.

A pleasure.

Eureka! You're a woman. Eh, eh? EH? Obviously, your lack of the male genitals means you cannot provide a valid opinion. Now make me a sandwich!
You see, my argument holds no ground in this day and age. Either ignore my age or tell me you're inferior.
Now say touché.

Hell, I can care less about what some anonymous avatar on the internet says about me. It's just slightly disheartening to see that there are still people who truly beleive that a child should have no say in anything.

For a generation who promotes the equality of all races and sexes, you really have overlooked age.

No worries. I have been ignoring your "advice" since the beginning since you have proven that you are very, very clueless.

Entertaining (in a "dog chasing its tail" kind of way) but thoroughly lacking in substance.

You give kids a bad name. Sorry.

Who are you?

And how am I in any way similar to a dog? I think that I'm my own enemy, therefore, I try to attack myself? Try again buddy. You're argument against me is "throughly lacking in substance."

Also, you're not sorry. You can attempt that one later as well.


EDIT- I've looked at some of you're posts. All of them portray you as a sadistic prick who has nothing better to do but act contrary in all ways possible, or involve VERY dry humor that a 14-year old (I) could have dreamt up. I mean, I'm in no way perfect or hilarious, but at least I have some tolerance before I decide to be a smart-ass. Based on what I've seen, you're the same ass who spits out "witty" anecdotes at cocktail parties and pronounces "mature" "muht-ure" to sound intelligent. While some BF'ers may find you amusing and embrace your opinions and personality, I'll be sure to avoid you.

Sorry dude, you give adults a bad name.

Who are you?

I'm the guy who is over here (or "hear" if that's easier to understand) laughing.


And how am I in any way similar to a dog?

"dog chasing its tail" as in your posts are futile (like the confused dog trying to catch its tail) yet funny to observers.


Also, you're not sorry.

No, I really am sorry that kids like you give other kids a bad name, regardless of how amusing you are. It's a shame.

OK enough..
I go to a Military Ball (dance for JROTC members and dates) and Come back and my thread about my awesomely cool seat post is destroyed=p

Anyway at profails comment that he doesn't look good on his bike.... Pair of Polo shorts and an USAFA Bike Jersey, my old style BMX and my sunglasses. Yea, I look good =P

Dug your whole deeper there man. More of them then there is of you right now.

BTW, You kiss your mom with that mouth? It's dirtier than a public toilet at a 2 star truck stop.

Hey, at least ProFail can communicate effectively (and is entertaining). A lot of the other members could learn from him (i.e., spelling, grammar, paragraphs, etc.), despite him being just a punk kid!

let me tell you a quick story. i've told it a couple times on this forum before, but i don't think you were around for any of them Cheeto. So it was a beautiful fall friday. i just got done with class and was super excited for the weekend. sweet string band was playing that night at a cool bar, had a hot date planned for me and my gf (one of first few dates), and just generally was in a really good mood. So i jump on my bike and start riding home from campus. the suns shining, birds are singing, winds a breezing and its a nice 65 degrees. all is well in the world. i turn on to my street. lean way back on my saddle, pinch it with my legs, take my hands off the bars and pretend to fly. i make some nice slow leany turns and am just generally stoked on such a great day and such a great bike ride home. anyways, all the while amidst my happiness my seatpost decides to break. my saddle comes loose and i fall hard onto my nuts pinching them between my ass and my tire. long story short, i ended up having my balls sonagramed by some old lady to make sure they weren't fractured. now i only buy bomber seatposts. i even have a thomson on my commuter! enjoy the confidence inspiring strength of the thomson and enjoy tearing up the trails!

Bibbity boppity boo.

Edited because I'd rather not be banned tonight.

EDITX2: But profail still sucks.

But profail still sucks.

For sure,

And stop posting damn pics of your saddle, and gay looking 14 year olds in spandex. Please?

Do we have to go through this for every new child that comes on here? Think about the list of offenders i can recall:
Norco_rider77
MulletArgyleMan
Cheeto

We have the same damn argument everytime a nubchild starts posting. Let up guys, its the internet.

He is the 14 year old.

Well, did you get any phone numbers from hotties? Come on, don't hold back the details.

I had a date already, so no.
I was ready to gouge out my eyeballs from some of the people though, Some people should NOT wear tight dresses....
Hey Terrapin Ben, Thats a painful story... Thanks for the confidence on the Thomson, makes me even happier I went broke on it.

IT'S SO LIGHT compared to my old one, and its even a lot longer, which I like.
I'm happy.

Add ric0h

Nice post Cheeto but I wouldve invested in disc brakes instead.

I think most people need to give ProFail a break. Or maybe I'm the one not reading his posts right, but he seems to have a pretty good sense of humor and doesn't take himself too seriously.

He's just a kid, relax guys.

Now Cheeto, on the other hand......:)

For sure,

You guys all have a log up your ass. This is an internet forum, and you guys are all taking yourselves WAY to seriously. I obviously have committed the egregious act of suggesting a new saddle, which is why you all felt the need to attack me.

So what if I'm a punk kid who's digging a whole for himself? Let me keep digging my whole and eventually it'll collapse on me. Rankin has the right idea, just chill.

I do however, respect your opinions, even if I may disagree with them. Although WTP hates me, I still respect him.

And in continuing my hole, I was expecting Runtnick or whatever his name is to provide a more hilarious or witty rebuttal. C'mon, you take some you give some. As a side note, my ass will be paying for your Social Security later.

Agreed.

Pictures paint a thousand words. Hence my standing off on this subject regarding saddles.
Indeed he is "just a kid". As proven here. :D

I'm sure his parents are very proud they are raising such a fine young man. :lol:

I would pwn them IRL.

Side-Note: Your sub-heading says, "I ride 'em hard". Is that the intended effect, or is my mind just in the gutter?

Couldn't agree more.

Cheeto - im pretty sure Ric0h was just Pete Fagerlin.
